Bayern Munich’s defender, Benjamin Pavard, is eager to make a move to Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United during this summer transfer window.
His strong desire to join the Red Devils is evident.
However, a significant obstacle has emerged due to the current disagreement between the two clubs regarding the transfer fee, as reported by Sky Sports.
The French national, who is versatile in both right-back and centre-back positions, is nearing the end of his current contract, with just one year remaining.
His expected price tag falls within the range of £30 million ($38 million) to £35 million ($44 million).
The success of this transfer also depends on the unfolding situation involving Harry Maguire, who is presently engaged in discussions with West Ham regarding a potential move.
Bayern Munich’s plan to replace Pavard with Manchester City’s Kyle Walker has been thwarted, as Walker has opted to stay with the Premier League champions.
Manchester United has pursued alternative avenues in the transfer market, including exploring the option of signing Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice.
Discussions with Todibo’s representatives have reportedly taken place, according to the same sources.
